    its a good fun game, just annoying that you pay for an expensive soundtrack that has a game attached to it.

    Downloaded and played the Doom previous to this one and its worth playing both, fun game where you can jam out and destroy and kill everything and if you want to make it difficult for yourself you can do that too.

    What epic game highly recommend. i know i don't have a lot of hours on PC version but that's because it kept crashing, but I beat it on PS4 and it worked perfectly fine.

    Very fast paced first person shooter that gets even faster the more you progress so far I've played 11 hours and I'm having a great time with it I can only hope it gets better from here.

    Visceral, brutal, fast-paced and challenging, Doom Eternal can seem daunting to someone not used to fast-paced first person shooters.

But don't let that put you off - the game does a fantastic job of raising your skill ceiling as you progress, and enemies that might seem impossible on your first few attempts become near cannon-fodder as you master their weaknesses and understand the right weapon combos to apply.

    Doom Eternal is also one of the very few games I have experienced that produces a state of flow - where after a while you find yourself almost not thinking about the game, just reacting on instinct as you mow down enemy after enemy, never once staying still. At a certain point, something "clicks" and you become one with the game, and what was previously an endless stream of quick decisions in the heat of combat becomes something akin to a blood-soaked dance. The satisfaction of beating a seemingly impossible arena after several attempts is almost euphoric.

    Overall, Doom Eternal is one of the best games in recent memory, and the best FPS in its category hands down. A tribute to the original Doom with the addition of second-to-second tactics like never before.

    Favorite Demon hands down is the Tyrant. Favorite Gun, is the super shotgun, its very meaty and sleek, and i love the meathook. favorite level probably has to be Final Sin. it feels great to play, and there are absolutely no slowdowns unlike Doom 2016. (ahem, Vega Central Processing)

    i hope microsoft will continue to put as much effort in the next doom games as bethesda and id software have put in this one.

    i definitely recommend trying this game out for yourself.    … Expand

At some sections you get stuck for a couple of minutes but eventually you adapt, learn the enemy positions and overcome the hardest part of any level, and thats the most satisfying part of the game in my eyes. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes a satisfying challenge with some exploration mixed in for added spice.… Expand

    Its more Doom, and its good. :)
    At first i was a bit put of by the more Arcady UI design and the "combat is a puzzle" aspect of Eternal, but i gave it another chance and boy, i had no reason to be skeptical.

    Its a great game and for a lore buff like me its stuffed with world building that you can enjoy in the few calm moments between the insane high speed action.

    Doom Eternal is one of those games that bring back the old retro shooter combat but in a newer way. It really is one of the best first person shooters on the market if not the best due to the pacing, the combat, the pickups. and the movement. Doom Eternal's entire focus is on the feel of the combat not the look of the combat, the gun sounds the executions are examples of this.

    The puzzles do not bother me because they don't last long, and at some point there needs to be a mix up anyway.

    First of all, let me just start by saying the soundtrack on this game is AMAZING. The Best Soundtrack Award is there for a reason.

The Best Soundtrack Award is there for a reason.

    An absolute blast from start to finish and one of the most polished games I've ever played. Visually stunning environments and animations. Immaculate pacing with just the right amount of puzzles/story/lore interspersed between sessions of heart-pounding action that is only enhanced by excellent use of the soundtrack. Challenging enough for every level to be an adrenaline-filled rush but not so difficult as to be frustrating. Same goes for the collectibles, bonus levels, etc — everything is compelling without being intrusive. I was also amazed at how well they managed to capture the spirit of the original DOOM games I played as a kid in a modern format. (For example, I never would have thought that in 2021 I'd be playing a shooter with no reload keybind, but somehow it just works.) Did I mention the game has a great soundtrack?

    The genre and thematic approach isn't for everyone, but even as someone as someone who typically prefers games with a lot more depth than DOOM has (story-driven RPGs, strategy games, stealth action-adventure, etc) I still loved it it from start to finish. It's easy to pick up and put down at a moment's notice whether you have 30 minutes or 4 hours to blast through hordes of demons.

    In a time filled with buggy, unfinished, forever-in-early-release, oversold and under-delivered games, it's refreshing to see one so refined and filled to the brim with attention to detail. Overall, an exquisitely crafted game and worth your hard-earned dollar even at full price.    … Expand

    The murderous amok simulator returns and is even more furious than before. Fantastic presentation and great fighting system are harmed only by annoying platforming sequences. [Issue#302]

    If you're looking for a deep and thought-provoking gaming experience that changes your outlook on life, look elsewhere. However, if you want a fast-paced, visceral shooter full of non-stop action and outrageous violence, you can't do better than Doom Eternal. If you liked 2016's offering you will love this follow up. It's a hell of a good time.

    Like Jason Statham’s character in Crank, Doom Eternal needs adrenaline every waking second. So long as you drown hordes of demons in their own blood, it feels like a perfect GOTY contender, but during quiet moments, Doom Eternal withers and forces you to ponder unpleasant questions. id Software needs to course-correct, otherwise we’ll be playing Super Doom Slayer’s Bros in a few years.
